2001 triumph TT600 question, how do I fix.....?
I tipped the bike on its side while it was running, it dumped some oil out and was promptly shut off. ( it ran less than a minute thirty on its side) when we flipped right side up... it wouldn't start. This is an inline four cylinder sport bike aka crotch rocket. Someone suggested cleaning out the air filter, removing the spark plugs, adding oil till the dipstick read full, and hand cranking (by putting a wrench on the sprocket) the engine for a few turns, then putting the spark plugs back in and attempting to start the bike.... My question is.... DOES THIS SOUND LIKE IT MIGHT WORK?

It is astounding that oil would come out of the machine at all when on its side... do you know what the source was? I like the other persons advise they gave you. You certainly can not go wrong by following this advice. I would certainly start by removing the plug and making sure the cylinder was not filled with oil. How an engine dumped oil when on its side is astounding.
